Teatro Arcas to host premiere of Sporca Eva in Naples

The Teatro Arcas in Naples is set to host the absolute premiere of “Sporca Eva” on November 25, 2026. Written and directed by Gianni Del Vecchio, with original music by Paolo Del Vecchio, the production combines theater and song to examine the complex relationship between women and religious patriarchy.

The play explores how religious structures have historically been used to shape female consciousness and morality, rather than questioning the mystery of faith itself. Drawing from historical texts, the performance features women from Catholic narratives and beyond, presented in chronological order through seven scenes, monologues, and songs.

The production features a collaborative performance by Rosaria De Cicco, Barbara Buonaiuto, and Margherita Romeo Messeri. The narrative covers figures such as Eva, Sara, Maria, and Maddalena, aiming to give these historical and symbolic characters an autonomous voice.
